Najlepsza książka 2019 roku Financial Times i The Guardian Niektórzy ludzie odrzucają fakt, że nasza planeta ociepla się z powodu działalności człowieka. Ale czy ci z nas, którzy akceptują rzeczywistość spowodowanej przez człowieka katastrofy klimatycznej, naprawdę w nią wierzą? Gdybyśmy rzeczywiście w nią uwierzyli, z pewnością zdecydowalibyśmy się na działania zgodne z tym, co wiemy. A jednak prawie ich nie podejmujemy. W Klimat to my Jonathan Safran Foer bada fundamentalny dylemat naszych czasów w zaskakujący i głęboko osobisty sposób. Zadanie ocalenia planety wymaga wielkiego rozliczenia się z naszą. niestety bardzo ludzką, niechęcią do poświęcenia komfortu ze względu na niepewną przyszłość.

Działanie, które zaczyna się od tego, co jemy - a czego nie jemy - na śniadanie.

Qualcuno si ostina a liquidare i cambiamenti climatici come fake news, ma la gran parte di noi è ben consapevole che se non modifichiamo radicalmente le nostre abitudini l'umanità andrà incontro al rischio dell'estinzione di massa. Lo sappiamo, eppure non riusciamo a crederci. E di conseguenza non riusciamo ad agire. Il problema è che l'emergenza ambientale non è una storia facile da raccontare e, soprattutto, non è una buona storia: non spaventa, non affascina, non coinvolge abbastanza da indurci a cambiare la nostra vita. Per questo rimaniamo indifferenti, o paralizzati: la stessa reazione che suscitò Jan Karski, il < >, quando cercò di svelare l'orrore dell'Olocausto e non fu creduto. In tempo di guerra, veniva chiesto ai cittadini di contribuire allo sforzo bellico: ma qual è il confine tra rinuncia e sacrificio, quando in gioco c'è la nostra sopravvivenza, o la sopravvivenza dei nostri figli? E quali sono le rinunce necessarie, adesso, per salvare un mondo ormai trasformato in una immensa fattoria a cielo aperto? Nel suo nuovo libro, Jonathan Safran Foer mette in campo tutte le sue risorse di scrittore per raccontare, con straordinario impatto emotivo, la crisi climatica che è anche < >, mescolando in modo originalissimo storie di famiglia, ricordi personali, episodi biblici, dati scientifici rigorosi e suggestioni futuristiche. Un libro unico, che parte dalla volontà di < > e termina con un messaggio rivolto ai figli, ai quali ciascun genitore - non solo a parole, ma con le proprie scelte - spera di riuscire a insegnare < >

Some people reject the fact, overwhelmingly supported by scientists, that our planet is warming due to human activities. But do those of us who accept the reality of human-caused climate change truly believe in it? If we did, surely we would be roused to act, to make sacrifices now to prevent calamity in the future. How are we, ordinary civilians, supposed to do anything about a crisis for which we can barely sustain concern, of which our understanding is so incomplete, and from which we cannot imagine an escape? Will future generations distinguish between those who didn't believe in the science of climate change and those who said they accepted the science but didn't act? In We Are the Weather, Jonathan Safran Foer explores the central dilemma of our time in a surprising, creative, and urgent new way. We have, he reveals, turned our planet into a farm for growing meat, and the consequences are catastrophic. With the future of our home at stake, the time has come to consider how our descendants will judge our actions at this crucial moment. Collective action is needed. We might be able to pull it off--and it all starts with what we eat, and don't eat, for breakfast and lunch.

Piotr Zychowicz pisze o sprawach niewygodnych zarówno dla Polaków, jak i Żydów. O komunistach i żydowskich kolaborantach pod niemiecką okupacją, ale również o polskich szmalcownikach.
